New Rubbermaid Idea
The cab measurements:
72" (H) x 36" (W) x 18" (D)
I was first considering a cheap ass particle board cabinet from ikea until I saw this baby. Its more sturdy and is even lockable.
Here's my plan so far:
- drill some holes in the upper back for wiring
- use a hole saw to create the intake and exhaust ports
- add the basic plumbing so that at least the inside portion is done
- add some hangers on the inside ceiling for future lighting
- mylar the entire inside
- hang some high quality plasit down the front that will be attached either with velcro or a zipper
- weather strip all cracks of the front doors of the cabinet including any gaps between the doors so that its airtight and light-tight.
I plan to put the cabinet up against the wall in my room with the left side of the cabinet about 4"-6" away from the corner of the room. That gab will allow me to hide the plumbing. The air intake will be an PVC elbow that points at an angle upward and towards the rear of the cabinet that I will install on the lower left side of the cabinet. I'll be able to hide it by putting something like a narrow trash can or some other object.
The exhaust will come out in the upper rear corner of the top of the cabinet and then connect to a carbon filter that will sit on some brackets. This will allow me to put something like a bottomless shoe box on top of the cabinet and nobody would be the wiser. The box would be cut out on the bottom and half of the left side and half of its rear.
I could probably do the same for the intake plumbing so that all the plumbing is well disguised. It would just look like I have a box sitting on top of the cabinet and a box sitting on the side in that crack.
